The Camel Anything but Patient.
| HE MOST GRUMBLEsOME BEAST AND HAS A
VERY UNPLEASANT WAY OF DYING.
| From the New York Times.
| The camel Is very unlOvely and unlovable
| beast, in spite Of the dictum OF Mr.. John Bright
who, in the winter or 1884 80 pathetically spoke
on the authority OF his inner consciousness
| or perhaps OF stray visit TO the London Zoologi.

| accomplishing under his heavy load. Not only
does he make more row about his burden than
| any other beast that Is used by man. but whether
| he Is being loaded or unloaded. he howls and
| shrieks with rage, and woe betide the man. other
than his regular and feared driver who is ncautiOus
enough 10 get within reach at such time OF his
sharp and long teeth, which make as ugly wound
as doctor could dream OF. The natural

more or less learned works upon the mammalia OF
the animal Kingdom, but there is one OF his char.
actertstics which they all, with once consent have
failed TO note 1t is his superclliOus aspect. The
One-humped brute has this look In a greater de.
gree even than British duchess in one OF Mr.
| George du Maurier's pictures. Probably the car
rage OF the head possibly the full but inexpensive
eye certainly the peculiarlyslit nOStrils account
for much OF this air Of lofty iSdain which only de-
parts from the camel under two cOnditionS-when
the creature Is grazing on the tenderer twigs Of
thorny acacia, II that can be properly called graz
| ing, and when 1t is dying. Then the air OF su
preme disdain disappears Indeed no animal
! whatever its ordinary character, puts on such a
ptiful look in eLremis as the sOcalled ship OF the
desert. The dying camel makes one
feel even when one has seen hundreds

ordinary animal when he Is wounded. FOR he viii

by an limiting pack saddle, and then liberated
by flies and dirt but you will not learn the fact
from his cOuntenance or his gait. When he lies
down on his side II Is no TO waste time on him
you will never get him on his legs again, or gel
another hours work out OF him. In ten years ex
perfence OF these brutes there was only one Occa

was seen upon his feet again, and In that case hi
